Yellowish tint on VN248H-P

[csmith67]

Hey everyone. I've been having problems with my triple rig setup for a month now. First I bought 2 more VS247H-P for an existing one to make it 3. My original one had perfect color. The two I got had an ugly yellowish tint. Exchanged them twice with no success.

Decided to buy 3 VN248H-P total and start over for better color matching and a thinner bezel. Received two today and just so happens one is perfect and the other is yellowish tint just like my other one! I'll be getting the last one tomorrow. I've tried different cables, color calibration (super hard to do without a physical device) and more.

I'm starting to think it may be my GPU because it only has 2GB ram. I was hoping since they're IPS that the colors would match perfectly. Does anybody have any ideas? I'll provide more info if needed, but this is all I can think of to keep it simple right now.

Monitors: VN248H-P
OS: Windows 10
Mobo: Z77 Extreme4
GPU: ASUS GTX 770
CPU: Intel i5 3570k- with Hyper 212 evo
Ram: Ripjaws GSKILL 8GB
PSU: CX750M
HDD Primary: Samsung EVO 120gb
HDD: Toshiba 2 TB

Hello,

First of, if you're not used to accurate colors, then the yellow tint monitor could be the most accurate one. That's because majority of people are used to blue tints. I warn you though, after you're used to accurate colors in a couple of days, you won't be able to view other displays that aren't, you'll instantly notice how skin tones and other objects are just blue.

Restore all monitor settings to default on 3 all, then use the Cinema/Movie/Theater picture preset on all 3. This will get you to around 10% mismatch rather than very obvious. If that doesn't work, then what has happend is that the monitors your received, aren't equal. There may have been outsourcing involved, which majority of outsourced monitors (and TV*s) don't even meet the companys own quality standard, 99% of the times.

If they still look off, then use the built in calibration program in Windows, by just searching for the word "calibrate". I recommend a white piece of paper, and don't change the color temperature in your room, as they will no longer display accurate colors. Don't change your picture preset to anything but Cinema/Movie/Theater.

If they still look off, then consider writing a letter to the company which owns the monitors you bought, as because people aren't complaining, that's how big display companies are able to get away with lowering the quality, basically scamming consumers.



All the best!

Interesting info. Didn't know they outsourced as I thought it all came from the Asus factory. I'm thinking about buying a color munki and using a software called DisplayCAL. Hopefully this will match all three with the same accurate color.
